Peace, Blood, and Understanding

So happy to have a new Half Moon Hollow book. The problem with one, though, is that I immediately want another! Harper's wit and timing are impeccable. Never a false note. Each new character she introduces is unique, and her stable of known characters stay true to their personalities. Dock Cheney is my hero (wow. Now there's a sentence I never thought I would write!) And I would like Jane to be my best friend. Harper puts a warmth into her characters that makes it hard to believe they're fictional and Half Moon Hollow is not a real place.

Read Jane Jameson first though.

The characters and the storylines of this series are so enjoyable, I wish a new book came out at least every three months. The main characters in this book were so well written. Complete opposites, and yet it worked. Having some of the recurring characters made it even better because they're so much fun. I would hate it if they were left out. I missed the lol humor of the Half-Moon Hollow series. The author's new series isn't as humorous, and the witty banter in this series is an addiction. The mystery in this one was suspenseful and had me guessing. Of course, I was wrong, but that's one of the things I love most about this funny series. The books aren't predictable.

I always enjoy going back to Half Moon Hollow and seeing what Jane Jamison. Dick Cheney and the others are up to. Meadow had a lot of issues when she became a Vampire but leave it to Jane to help her adapt. Meadows love interest was a difficult person to like and their story has an underlying threat to the entire town. That made for an interesting book which I couldn’t put down. Thank you to Molly Harper for another great addition!

I’ve been a huge fan of Miss Harpers sine Nice Girls (reading that in paperback, back in the olden days) And Meadows story did not disappoint. It’s like a mini vacation (which is just the place I need sometimes) to go back to Half-Moon Hollow- visiting old friends whilst meeting new. Thank you for all the laughs- I look forward to many more, in both human and vampire worlds. If you are a new fan- start at the beginning- read, rinse, repeat.

Welcome back to Half-Moon Hollow. In this installment Jane and Dick are being audited by the council for their unorthodox methods. Jane is supervising new made vampire Meadow’s rehab who has managed to catch the eye of the auditor Erik. This all sounds very soap opera but it really isn’t it is just my weak way of saying this story has layers on layers and is all the more fantastic because of it. This is a terrific addition to the series.

If you are a Molly Harper fan this book is a fun return to Half Moon Hollow. I have liked all the books she wrote but I always loved the Hollow which launched her career. We get a new character and follow her through the Hollow and the characters we love. No spoilers here, but expect to be entertained with her usual fine humor.It was enjoyable to see the Hollow again, but I had a sad feeling this might have been a good bye tour and can only hope that was false feeling.

This was a fun visit to half moon hollow through the eyes of a new fun character. Meadow is interesting, likable, and fresh. I loved her backstory and the mystery in this book. As always Harper delivers a book that is both fun and engrossing. I do believe that you could pick up the series with this book but it won’t be as much fun as if you started from the beginning.
